"I could not be more impressed with Jesse and his team. They were so responsive, so professional, and so incredibly helpful. Great communication throughout. Great work product. Pricing that was very competative and reasonable. The next time I have an insulation need I won't even both to get bids from other shops. I will just use Century. Highly recomend."

"Started well and I scheduled them well ahead of time although I had to demand the date I wanted; they were scheduling according to the order the deposits came in.  A few days before the date the owner called to say it would be split into two days, blown blanket, then the following day the foam application.  Not major, but annoying.  My time is worth something and given the lead time in scheduling this seems questionable at best.  The blown blanket guys were all right but failed to do a couple minor things I think they should have.  I'm not an expert on this and I expect the professionals will do a professional job.  When the foam team arrived the following day I pointed out the missing items to them and they did take care of it.  I had to put a 50% deposit down and offered the remainder to the foam team as they left.  They said I'd get a bill in the mail.  And now wonder; the bill was 11% higher than the written proposal.  The owner - who does the proposals - missed an overhang along a 16' wall which increased the foam cost.  I have no objection to the cost, but I do feel blindsided by the way it was presented.  The foam team could have warned me and failing that the owner or someone from the firm could have called to advise me about it - and apologize for missing it, perhaps.  Based on this experience I'd prefer to do business with a more professional outfit.

Insulation questions, answered by experts

It’s best not to install a radiant barrier directly under insulation because it requires an air gap on at least one side to work properly. Instead, you should install the radiant barrier over your existing insulation to create an air space to reflect the radiant heat.

Structural insulated panels and rigid foam boards have the highest R-value of any insulation that contractors commonly use, with R-values reaching up to around 8.0. These types of insulation are best in extremely cold climates, but they’re generally preferred for new construction, as they can be challenging to retrofit. Blown-in and loose fill insulation provide the next best insulative value, provided the installation is done properly. It’s important to choose an insulation type that meets your needs based on climate, as maximizing R-value may not always be financially worthwhile if you live in a moderate climate.

Yes, you should insulate behind shower walls. Insulating helps prevent heat loss, which keeps the shower or tub from getting too cold and helps maintain a comfortable temperature in your bathroom. Additionally, proper insulation and air sealing can help prevent wall rot and moisture buildup. It is recommended to use a high R-value rated foam insulation combined with a vapor barrier.

Yes, it is possible to have too much insulation, which can have detrimental effects. While more insulation might seem better for energy efficiency, a home needs to "breathe" or ventilate to release moisture that accumulates inside. Over-insulating can seal a house too tightly, trapping water vapor and leading to several problems, including mold, mildew, and condensation. Homes in warm, humid climates are particularly susceptible to mold, while those in colder climates can experience condensation from temperature fluctuations. Additionally, adding more insulation than the recommended amount for your climate may not provide recoverable energy savings. To avoid these issues, consult a professional insulation contractor who can determine the optimal amount of insulation for your home.

While there are many different kinds of insulation, spray foam, blown-in, foam board, and batt and roll are the four types you’re most likely to see. That doesn’t mean they’re alike, though. Each one varies drastically in terms of cost, materials used, and how they’re installed—not to mention, how well they limit heat transfer.
